Abstract
In project management, an important but often neglected skill, is chairing an effective meeting. Having ineffective meetings is a waste of organizational resources and can also lead to the wrong decisions being made. As a project manager, or the person chairing the meeting, it is important to note that doing a good job starts before the meeting itself. This starts with determining the 5 W's: who (should be a the meeting), what (should be discussed at the meeting), when (should be meeting be), where (is the meeting held) and why (are we having this meeting). During the meeting it is important that the minutes are written, the agenda is followed, and that the timeframe of the meeting is kept. As a project manager it is also important to make sure that the decisions made during the meeting are carried out and also following up on tasks given to specific persons from the meeting.
